Hi all :)

Right so after lots of searching and waiting for my birthday ive finally purchased my first ek civic :)
unfortunatley its not a ek9, however im really happy with my little ek4..
will be a slow but sure build, few little niggles like a small dent in the front wing and a spot of rust on the rear drivers arch, but they shall be sorted,

just trying to get it how i want it before i get it on the road at the end of april..

How i got it home on Saturday:

well happy with it managed to get it a bit cheaper than advertised too :win:
 
So after alot of hard work today ive got most of the rear inside sorted, ill be keeping the plastics thats why it isnt all done, but first of all i scraped and cleaned all of the sound deadening - HORRIBLE job..

Looks great man, some really nice parts there... :nice:

Would you not just remove the rear plastic panels rather than leaving cut up ones in? Would lose a small bit of weight as well. :D
